MENTS,

The following are from files OF the New
England Farmer, preserved in the library
of the Brooklyn Historical society:
"Bellfounder-The New York trotter,
imported July, 1922, to stand this season,
1927, at $40 and 81 the groom. This
celebrated horse is light bay with black
legs. standing II hands high; his superb
or blood, symmetry and action excel any
other trotting stallion. lie is allowed by
the best Judges in New York to be the
fastest and best bred horse ever sent out
of that country. He has proved himself a
sure foal-getter, and his stock for size
and substance are not to be improved.
They are selling at the highest prices of
any horse in New York. Bellfounder was
got by that well-known fast and high
formed trotter, Old Bellfounder, out of
Velocity. which trottcd on the Norwich
road, in 1916, lG miles in one hour, and
though she broke fifteen times into a
gallop, and as often turned around. won
her match. In 1908 she trotted - miles
in one hour and forty-seven minutes. and
has also done many other great perform
ances against time. Belltounder at five
years old trotted two miles in six min
utes. and in the following year was
matched for 200 guineas to trot nine
miles in 30 minutes. which he won easily
by - seconds. His owners shortly after
challenged to perform with him II IL
miles in one hour but it was not accepted.
He has since never been saddled or
matched. Old Bellfounder was a true
descendant from the old original blood
of the Fireaways, which breed of horses
stand unrivalled either in this or any
other nation. Bellfounder is strongly
recommended to the public by the sub
scriber as combining more useful prop
ties than any other horse in America
and will stand during the season at his
stable in CharlestOwn, where all inquir-
les, prepaid, will be attended to. SAM
